Kaalar Sella Basmati Rice is a parboiled (sella) basmati rice variety produced by Barkat Rice Mills (Pvt) Ltd, Pakistan. This rice is specially processed using a steam-pressure parboiling method before milling, which makes the grains firmer, more golden in color, and less likely to break during cooking. It is aged for at least 12 months to enhance its texture, aroma, and elongation.
